And, while it was real work for me, I crammed a fair swag of background that’s only really of use for impressing your mates at parties. (Always assuming your mates are impressed by a smattering of knowledge about the Hanoverians and their impact on the English language.)

Anyway, the column goes on and on about Kings, conquerers, invasions and class divides. Oh, and
the intricacies of using the indefinite article correctly.

Best of all, there’s already real comments and those comments come with links.

Which means I was able to waste spend quality time this morning discovering yet more avenues of distraction.

Quick side-note: as of 2007/02/27, this particular Paul Frields is the king of Google so far as his name is concerned.

Small problem: Paul’s Next Page and Previous Page links aren’t working as I type this. They have the form:

http://paul.frields.org/~paul/wordpress/?cat=x&paged=y

Where ‘x’ and ‘y’ are numbers

They need to be of the form

http://paul.frields.org/?cat=x&paged=y

to work.

I suspect a glitch in Paul’s .htaccess file is the culprit but it’s not that difficult to work around for the moment: just delete the ~paul/wordpress string from any paul.frields.org URLs before heading off to visit a new page.
